We have reached the Dark Ages of the bittorrent share, when the noble citizen is malnourished of her or his free lunch music-diet.

I must note that no bittorrent site can yet compare to the legendary Oink!, be it quality or quantity of selection. Oink! allowed access to the most intense amount of music, ebooks and software available until the site was shut down for copyright infringement almost a year ago. This is almost a memorium.

The bittorrent controversy remains unresolved--In one corner: those who have faith in bittorrent sites' legality, claiming such destinations just point to copyrighted material rather than actually provide it--the other corner: the obvious antithesis. It's clear that Google can do this too... Right?

Well here we go again.

Speckly has incorporated a clever design to denote itself as a search engine. With no username, password, or invite required, it looks and feels like a search engine, too. By george, it just might work.
